    Thank you so much for this truly! I am someone who is not a beginner as my mother taught me the basic when i was young and i knit and crochet but....its been years since i have sewn something that wasn't just a repair of some kind. I've made it my goal this year to make at least 10 completely homemade garmets or accessories. Watching this video was so helpful! Very detailed and explained. I look forward to your next video. You sold me for sure. Subscribed immediately!

    @sewbakemake I'm so glad to have found someone that makes complete sense! I completely understand summers are always so crazy! I'm working a thrift flip of sorts at the moment. Old button-up mens shirt into a skirt. It's turning out great so far. Had a little trouble with measuring and seam allowance, but I think I have it down almost. I used a skirt that I already had as the guide. It was worn out, so it was a good one to use. I'm trying to figure out how to finish the top. 😅

    I’m deciding between denim and canvas fabric for this, what did you use in this video?!

  • @sewbakemake

    @sewbakemake

    I thrifted this fabric so I’m not entirely sure what it is, but it seems like a canvas to me! Either would work well though! 😊

    It's a beautiful bag and easy tutorial. Can we use a normal needle for canvas and denim or do we need different size of needle? What about thread?

  • @sewbakemake

    Thank you! If you use a heavy denim or canvas, I would use a 90 or 100 jeans needle! Thread- I would use polyester sew all thread!

    How can I change the straps so it’s just one strap instead of 2 joint with a knot?

    Why do you use a 1/2 inch seam allowance, and trim? Wouldn't it be easier to just sew a 1/4 seam allowance?

  • @sewbakemake

    @sewbakemake

    5 ай бұрын

    I made it a 1/2” to make is easier for beginners and just like to trim certain pieces like the straps, but it’s not necessary to trim if you don’t want to 😊. In the instructions, I just have you trim the corners so they’re sharp

    It’s really hard to troubleshoot that without knowing about your machine, the fabric, the needle etc, but you could try holding the threads taught when you first start, changing the tension or the needle, or using tissue under the fabric

    10:22 Check your sewing manual and make sure your machine is threaded right. I use to think it wasti do with the bobbin. Had my machine repaired twice abd he kept saying he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Saw a KZread video that said more times than not, it's how you are threading the machine. Let me know if that works. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m52DtJKxo6W8mbw.htmlsi=_3cdY5gZHGivAv6n
